Seats

[CRaSHnBuRN]

Who makes decent offroad racing (suspension) seats? The ones I can currently think of are Mastercraft, PRP, Corbeau, and Beard. Are there any I missed? Anyone know where I can find them for a decent price? Any opinion on them?

And before you say just grab a seat out of a junkyard, let me say this. The vehicle in question is going to be my daily driver, as well as trail rig, and I want a seat I can be very comfortable in, no matter what the terrain is or how long I'm in the seat. I tried a few random junkyard seat in my last truck before paying the money for a set of Mastercraft Rubicons, and even though it seemed like a lot at the time, it was money well spent. The seats were incredible, and when I rolled the truck, the seats held me in place very nicely with just a normal seat belt. I'd go with them again, but there seems to be some similar kinds of seats available now for decent prices ($150-220)

what about the seats in Jegs.

I got the prp daily driver for the cheby and it is great. No recline or slider in it, but slider can be had from jy if needed.

aafter riding in that protruck, i would sugest mastercraft. the seats in those trucks may be a bit expensive, but im sure they have some more in your price range.

Look up Race Trim, my dad bought a set for like 300 a pair and they are damn good suspension seats

I think the ones I've ridden in before were prp's....they were very comfy :D
I'd stray away from corbeau after seeing how Cody's looked after a few years. They are designed for cars and just don't hold up to the abuse of being outdoors and getting dirty and getting in & out a bunch.
I like the jeg seats that I have with extra padding in the butt and back area, but they are the type of seats that you love or hate. I've sat in them for 5-6 hours of driving and my foot goes numb way before my ass.
Your shorter so it might not be a problem, but some seats are really thick and I don't know what your putting these it but that is something to look at. I orginally had Cody's old corbeau seat for mine but the bottom of the seat was way to thick, thats why I went for the lower profile of the plasic bucket seats.

I have a set of low back beard's(as I do not like the peenis out the top for a headrest), I got them from polyperformance 185 a peice. they are pretty comfy I have one installed on my lawnmower, my bumpy arse cracked up yard seems pretty smooth now.

i have 2 coribou baja desert ss seats in my little bros blazer and they are great, still on the wall for a daily driver but they are vinal so little upkeap and they are comfy as hell, suck your ass right in

So what kind are the jegs? Are they actual suspension seats, or just plastic ones with covers? Right now I think it will be a toss up between Beards and PRPs. I loved my mastercrafts, but they are just to expensive, when I can buy 2 seats for just a little more than a single mastercraft. Corbeaus are out because I found quite a few people complaining about them wearing out in less than a year.

The vehicle these will be going in is the 4runner I bought from grayson. The cab size is similar to my old truck. With that truck and my old mastercrafts, the seat was a little high, but it gave good visibility. It was kinda tight, and I lacked sliders, but I hope to solve those problems this time by building a set of sliders, and adding a steering wheel disconnect like I had in my buggy to ease access and act as a theft deterrent

The jegs seat's are the same one's you had in the buggy, not ideal for a d.d.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

if so then those would suck for this purpose. I would only use those on a full trail rig. On my buggy they were not bad, but I think some of that had to do with how layed back they were. If I could have fit something else in there, with more cushioning, I would have, because at the end of the day you were definetly sore

I have two Recaros that I'll probably never use for my Cruiser. They're comfy but $$. Full roll back to flat and tilt up lever. I paid $300 for the pair and would sell them for what I have in them.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

send me some pics if you have them

[davido]

The exact same as the ones that are in my Cruiser now. I had plans to put in 4 matching buckets. I can't find any off hand, but I'm sure they're around.

[AggieTJ2007]

if he doesn't want them I could use them

[davido]

Whatever. They're just sitting there until someone buys them or I get ambitious. Hmm, I wonder which will come first? :)

[agjohn02]

if you'd answer your pm's or voicemail you'd find out:)

[CRaSHnBuRN]

yeah, answer your PMs

[Reckless]

Im telling ya the race trim seats are just as good as beard or any others and cheaper. We use them in sand rails back home and they ride like a cadalic
